LSTM - Aided Speech Enhancement with Wiener Filter Adaptation with Learned Loss Function

Project Code :TMMASP187

Objective

This research focuses on improving speech signal quality using a deep learning-based model. It employs Non-negative Matrix Factorization and Long Short-Term Memory to enhance voice signals, optimizing noise reduction through a learned Wiener filter.

Abstract

Voice augmentation is the process of strengthening voice signals that have been affected by background noise. This work presents a deep learning-based speech signal augmentation model that is innovative. The proposed model consists of two phases: Training (i) and Testing (ii). In the training phase, the noisy input signal is processed using a Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) to estimate the signal and noise spectrums. The Wiener filter's features are then extracted using the Empirical Mean Decomposition (EMD) method. The Fractional Delta AMS characteristics are retrieved, the de-noised signal is obtained from the EMD, and the bark frequency is evaluated. Here, in this paper we’re using “Learning with Learned Loss Function", for improving PESQ score. The key contribution of this study is the precise estimate of the tuning factor η for the Wiener filter using the Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) model for each input signal. The extracted features (EMD), which were trained on the LSTM using a modified wiener filter to break down the spectral input, provide the denoised improved speech signal. A comparative analysis is carried out between the proposed and existing models with respect to error metrics.
